I shifted over to the BOINC client today on multiple machines and am still trying to understand how the client reports work in WCG.
My machine shows it returned a FAAH WU at 7:24PM Eastern Standard time tonight, but the unit is showing as "in processs" on the WCG website (other units returned later by other machines show up correctly). The unit info follows: faah0880_ bdb825_ mx2bpw_ dry_ 00 n737220 In Progress 11/04/2006 13:06:08 11/11/2006 13:06:08 0.00 0 / 0 Is this normal or is something going on with my client? |

In case it helps, here is the message from my BOINC client showing the upload of the work unit.

I figured out how to get the work reported....I hit the update button.....which raises another question...how often does BOINC update WCG on status of work units?

Hi jgoldsti,
http://www.romwnet.org/dasblogce/default.aspx...29-4564-b7bd-42b7854aba4d I don't understand BOINC scheduling, but apparently there are circumstances which make delaying returning results 3 times as efficient on the server compared with returning them immediately. Perhaps you can understand Rom Walton's explanation why this is so. Just let BOINC work as it wants to. There is a reason why it behaves in this inscrutable fashion. I don't think it improves the efficiency much, if at all, for my single CPU. But I may be wrong. The default communication interval is 0.1 days = 2.4 hours = 144 minutes. Lawrence |
